It’s a great example of function and style coming together and is used for everything from quick dinners, to homework and displaying favourite treasures.

While this bungalow may appear traditional from the street, there’s plenty more surprises in store once you venture beyond the original formal entry and front three bedrooms.

Period features like leadlight windows, decorative ceilings and open fireplaces are soon replaced with stylish modern touches in the central open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.

This spacious hub for entertaining family and friends flows out to an inviting covered patio with views of the leafy garden.

There’s even a bi-fold servery window off the kitchen for ease of supplying food to guests and, for wine buffs, a 1500 bottle, temperature controlled cedar wine room.

Spotted gum timber floors throughout the ground floor offset other custom-built joinery such as wall of plywood bookshelves and the feature timber staircase.

The kitchen has a 900mm stainless steel oven, dishwasher, canopy rangehood and an appliance cupboard. A butler’s pantry with another sink leads through into a large laundry with lots of storage options.

An existing room dating back many decades at the back of the house has been transformed into a second living area which also has garden access.

A double height ceiling with soaring windows dressed with remote control blinds draws lots of natural light into the stairwell that leads to the main bedroom and separate study upstairs.

The main bedroom sits under a raked ceiling and has a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and split system airconditioning.

There’s another split system airconditioner in the main living room, which also has a gas log fire.

Sleek modern finishes are echoed in the main bathroom downstairs where concrete and timber feature again.
